Silverlight 3 and WCF Faults
On a previous project that utilised WCF and Silverlight 2, I began implementing an error handling strategy that was going to rely on certain FaultExceptions being propagated to the Silverlight client. Well it turned out that Silverlight 2 does not support FaultExceptions so that was not going to fly and a custom solution was built.

Getting better performance in web apps with a few lines of script
We had a situation where a web application was utilising near 100% of CPU all the time under light load and it was proving very hard to reduce this significantly through code optimisation. We were performance testing and profiling, but only seeing marginal gains.

Regaining results from a performance test run
I have been doing a lot of performance testing lately, and one of the worst things that can happen during a performance run, is when you don’t get any results. Performance testing is expensive, from a time and resources perspective, so getting results from a run is paramount.

Debugging Silverlight apps using WinDbg
While working on a silverlight application for my current engagement, we were seeing some weird memory issues and application crashes. I won't bore you with the initial investigation of the issue, but it turns out we need to delve deep into what was going on behind the scenes. A fellow colleague and friend, Miguel Madero, was also encountering similar issues. He also did some work in debugging the issues he was seeing, and because they were similar to mine, I had a little headstart in where to look. Note: I know that Miguel will also be publishing some debugging tips around Silverlight and he is a Silverlight gun so keep an eye on his blog for more details.
